We had a good meeting Monday, with FAYCO and Vandalia Rehabilitation attending. We missed our Fayette County Hospital Long Term Care friends.
And on a more serious note, we REALLY missed Judy and Bob Varga, and Katy (in hospital) and Randy Schukar, plus we missed Jeannie Schlicht, who is with Wolf in the hospital in Springfield. As we shared our refreshments, we tried to catch up with everyone’s happenings. Phyllis Rames put it this way – trying to get everything back to normal! Lord, we are trying!

A musical group from West Frankfort called "Sons of the Father" will present a concert this Sunday at 6 p.m. at First Baptist Church in Vandalia.

A Vacation Bible School program titled "Discover, Decide, Defend" will be held Monday through Friday, June 9-13, at Bethel Baptist Church from 6-8:30 p.m. nightly.
Parents' night will be on Saturday, June 14, at 6 p.m.

Monday was Memorial Day – a day off work for many and no school for the kids. Even the YMCA was closed, so we all had an excuse to be lazy. And now that Memorial Day is over, our thoughts shift to the approaching summer.

The recent changes Mother Nature provided for us this last week can probably be remembered for some time. But we are still in the month of the Emerald – the rich green birthstone that depicts the landscape of colorful flowers and trees. This time of year also brings special occasions, which includes: graduation, weddings and community activities.

On Sunday, June 8, Liberty Christian Church will host the Vintage Gospel Lads.
The Southern gospel group will present a concert at 9 a.m. and then will lead the worship service at 10 a.m.
The church is located 5-1/2 miles north of Brownstown on College Avenue. For more information, call 347-2271.

I still believe in miracles. It may not be popular in our day and it is certainly not expected in our churches, but nothing is impossible with God.
Miracles are supernatural occurrences. They are either divine intervention, interrupting of natural laws, or they are laws known only to God.

Vandalia Community High School students presented a Baccalaureate service last Wednesday evening.

Participating in the program were students Karlee Brimberry, Levi Kinkead, Arika Craig, Jaden Evans, Melissa Davis, Megan Dothager, David Zimmerman and Kate Shields. The Rev.
